Construction - Peacock Feather is a triangular asymmetric shawl, starting from the top right corner. It is shaped with a centered double decrease along the ‘spine’ and first symmetric increases at both ends of the row until you reach the maximum depth, and after that decreases at the left edge and increases at the right edge.

The finished and blocked shawl is 150cm 59” wide by 65cm 255/8” deep.
See Ravelry pattern page on multiple ways to style it in different directions!
